Purple Wren: Spreading My Wings: Posting on Successful Blog

248146441_57df4c485f_m The other day Liz Strauss from Successful Blog and I were discussing how I might contribute to her blog on a regular basis. While we were on the phone, Chris Cree (SuccessCREEations) posted a comment and question about the recent post on Photoshop tutorials.

What an excellent opportunity! Liz mentioned blogger synchronicity, which it truly was.

Starting today you'll find me writing on a regular basis at Successful Blog. My column is called Sandy's Great Graphic Find. I'll be sharing info about tools, how-tos, and ideas you can use on your blog or presentation. I'll also build the posts for Tuesday Open Comments.

This is a fabulous opportunity to spend time with Liz and the community at Successful Blog. There's always something going on over there. Liz is a writer extraordinaire. She has a way of crafting words that I admire. She makes everyone feel welcome when they visit. (I still wonder when she finds time to sleep.)

I first heard from Liz in October when she commented on my post about writer's block and gave me links to Popular Posts and the Successful Series Page and invited me to email her. My response to her was "my blog wants to be like your blog when it grows up." She has given me encouragement and motivation, and I can't thank her enough. Then came the Successful Blog birthday party, a few Open Comments nights, and the rest is history. I feel like we have been friends for a very long time.

Hope you join us this Tuesday. You'll like the topic - guaranteed.

You've been such a BIG help to me in so many ways. All I can say is "thank you."

Woo-Hoo Sandy! Thanks for saying yes to Liz!

Talk about someone who can teach me way more than I can ever give back. I'm looking forward to learning about all that "graphics stuff". :)

Hi Mark,

Thanks for stopping by with a comment. It's really fun and exciting to align with Liz. I've already learned so much from her. She is also gently nudging me to figure out my focus and brand... With all of the support and input from people like you and Liz, I'm bound to figure it out!
